It's like the polar opposite to those C3 station wagons that Greenwood built in the past.

Gas tank - under car where the spare should be problaby. COmmon thing to the wagons was to use a Camaro gas tank under the car, thus the big roll at the rear of the bed.

Nose - Not real crazy about it. Looks wrong, like a big rabbit buck tooth or something. Unfinished look in grills.

Bed - I have one worry, where does the water go? No drains, it makes a good bath tub or swimming pool, but a lousy car/truck.

I'd have done the bed differently. I'd have kept the C-pillar sails as that give the Corvette feel. Roll the top of the fenders in some and make the bed narrower.

Otherwise, why all the griping? If someone suggested you all had junk because they were not 99.8% NCRS cars, you'd be up in arms about doign what you want, individuality, "it's your car", etc.

Chrome bumper blasphemy.

Looks like the rapechild of an El-Camino and a "Gallardo-kit" Fiero.
